To play the game, one stands in place and taps and holds where they want to shoot. One shoots small orange balls. After shooting for a while, one will need to recharge. If one has three fourths of a full charge, they can launch Jake in ball form.

There are three power-ups which you activate by shooting:

Key-pers give unlimited ammo for a short period of time.

Gauntlets give triple shots for a short period of time.

Pink sweaters with the power of "liking someone a lot" give Finn an extra life.
